DIY wall art ideas

Check out this gallery of 30 do-it-yourself wall art projects from DIYIdeas.com (appears to be the brain child of Better Homes and Gardens). I'm especially intrigued by the painted medallions. You can get ceiling medallions at Home Depot or online at places like this.

    I think I'll hang all my baking pans on the wall. Just think of the cupboard space that'd save! 'Course the holes you have to drill in 'em might make 'em leak a little......

    I liked the woven fiber through the sculptors mesh.
    Just attended a novelty yarn spinning workshop, I can definitely use my yarns.

    I love the medallions. I think that I would have a cluster of small gold ones in a top corner of a room

    ok, so how do you hang the ceiling medallions vertically then? the recommend adhesive when you put them on the ceiling but let's assume most of use don't want to permanently affix them to the wall...?

    I have been thinking for a while about getting a book of botanical prints and cutting it apart. I also like some of the creative uses of household items. Thanks for the link!
